Show 9: Comedy Countdown

Hosted by Dan Atkinson, this is a delightfully shambolic late-night show where comedians do battle with countdown. It's been about 8 years since I last encountered Atkinson's rage and crushing cynicism and it was a delight to hear his grouchy misery again. Through pure luck a former countdown champion in the audience was able to take the place of the absent comedian in dictionary corner; cue the moderate (and yet hilarious) bullying. This was a raucous hour of fun and games, and they even gave out chocolate bars in the interval.

Score: 8/10
Venue: Dining Room, Gilded Balloon, Bristo Square
Dates: August 5-9, 12-16, 19-23
